The fave.

Had a stack of 20 medium sized totes that needed attention. I had already sewn the hems on them.
So today I sewed the straps on.
I lay them out on my sewing table, and put the strap on.......like so.

Here's a few with the straps pinned on.

Then I use my old Kenmore to sew the straps on. I have to change the thread to match.

Twenty of them. They took a while.

Then, I powered up my new Techsew sewing machine, to sew up the sides, and do the gussets on the bottom to make them square.

It took about 5 minutes to do one bag, which made me smile. Usually, the sides were tough to do on the machine, and the gussets were impossible. I ended up doing the gussets by hand.
This was unbelievably easy.

I did these two, and then the machine stopped cold.

WHAT?????

Can't anything be easy???? Ever?????

After a long phone call to Techsew support at Raphael's Sewing Center in Montreal, I discovered that there is a thread stuck in the bobbin..........and I have to remove it.
Which sounds like a job for tomorrow.

Remember Sydney's bed???
Well, today L was making some 'Sweet Bottoms' chair pads, and she made one way too small, by mistake.
I suggested that she give it to Sydney for her bed, but she adamantly said NO WAY.
She doesn't like cats. You knew that, right???

What a great idea .. Rose is currently sleeping on a bathmat because she had a bit of an accident with her favorite pillow which now needs cleaning and replacing of the stuffing .. sigh .. that girl and her pillows will bankrupt me ... If L ever makes a too small one again, I'll happily buy it for Rose .. Syd looks so happy

About Me

I am an 'older' woman, who refuses to get old. I think I am really twelve, and my family will often agree. I have found my passion in weaving, and have left one career to begin another. What? I don't have all the time in the world???
Get out.
